I just purchased a used Knop reactor and am confused about the plumbing. there is a line into the bottom of the reactor, one that comes out the top and the third goes into the bubble counter. The bottom line is labeled intet, is this CO2 or water? From there I can figure it out. Thanks for the help.

Ive never owned a Knop,but im sure it would be water.

Co2 is probably introduced just before/at the pump intake.

HTH,Marc.

The line with the valve is for water inlet. The other inlet that is at bottom, next to the one with the valve is for CO2 from the bubble counter. The one at the top is the outlet from the reactor back to the sump.
The outlet must be above the sump water level for it to work properly.
I don't own a Knop but have seen one. Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks for the help. I was just wondering if I set it up correctly due to the bubble counter not having any water in it. As the system purges, without CO2 the headspace is disapearing and I am sure that the bubble counter will fill.
